Looks exactly as pictured but I must say it’s not the easiest to build - it’s quite complex and took me a while. The instructions are clear however. I also realised too late that some bigger shoes don’t fit in both the side shelf or the pull out shelves because they’re too thick or too long (e.g. my husband’s gym shoes). You might need one of the pull out shelves to have only one layer of shoes as a result. So even though we bought this to replace our old shoe rack, we ended up keeping it and now we have two.
